Islam Makhachev extends record win streak, Sean Strickland earns split-decision win at UFC 302

Islam Makhachev cemented his place as a lightweight great at UFC 302 with a dominant fifth-round submission victory over Dustin Poirier. The win extends Makhachev's win streak to a record-breaking 14 in the UFC lightweight division and ties him for most consecutive title defenses at 155 pounds.

In the co-main event, a controversial split decision saw Sean Strickland defeat Paulo Costa in a five-round middleweight clash. Strickland, who lost the middleweight title earlier this year, used his cardio advantage to press the action throughout the fight, finding success with jabs, front kicks, and right straights.

Costa countered with leg kicks and body shots but couldn't slow down the American. While Strickland secured the win, the judges' scores (50-45, 46-49, 49-46) sparked criticism for the wide disparity.

Elsewhere on the main card, Kevin Holland secured a dramatic comeback victory in his return to middleweight. After getting knocked down by Michal Oleksiejczuk, Holland locked in a tight armbar, forcing the Polish fighter's arm to break and awarding Holland the win by technical submission.

The night also saw veteran fighters Niko Price and Randy Brown secure wins. Price snapped his two-fight losing streak with a unanimous decision over Alex Morono, while Brown outpointed Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos in a welterweight battle.
